I built my blog on websockets

How does this make the front page of HN? When I try viewing this on FF 13.0.1 on Mac, I only see what I presume is supposed to be the left sidebar (About Me, Resume, etc). I don't get any content. What is the value of this?

Why? A blog seems like one of the last things one would want to build with websockets, what advantages do they provide in this context? Also, the js on your page isn't working and an image is 403ing.

I'm not going to knock you for building something. I imagine you started here, because, fundamentally a blog is one of those "getting started" projects with relations and structure. Though, I am not sure if this really showcases the use for websockets, unless you constantly post. However, I am unable to view your site correctly this time. I am on the latest version of chrome, if that helps.

This is an interesting proof of concept, I would like to encourage you to do more with this idea. In theory, WebSockets could deliver some of the promise of SPDY without the complexity.

Sorry everyone... I was away at a wedding and a server mishap caused some configurations to revert. Should be back now...<p>:- (

Congratulations for making it to the front page of Hacker News. Have an upvote! :)

socket.io.js is being served on port 8080, and is blank for me, resulting in "Uncaught ReferenceError: io is not defined" in app.js

`Uncaught ReferenceError: io is not defined`

Unfortunately this isn't working for me in latest versions of Chrome or Firefox, looks like an error related to the way socket.io library is delivered.<p>But I love the idea and you should definitely keep it up. People asking "why?" don't really understand what passion for coding means :-)
